Abstract
Novel cationic η3-allylpalladium−pyridinylpyrazole complexes 1a and 1b were synthesized from 3-alkyl-5-(2-pyridinyl)pyrazole and η3-allylpalladium chloride dimer in the presence of AgBF4. Cationic complexes 1a and 1b were converted into neutral complexes 2a and 2b under basic conditions. These complexes were characterized by 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR studies. Neutral complexes 2a and 2b have high catalytic activity for cyclopropanation of ketene silyl acetals with allylic acetates. Comparison of the cationic and neutral complexes and the reaction mechanism of cyclopropanation were discussed.
